There was one very strong offer, not just in the offer price, but in what their agent described as 'the strongest offer package he has ever written.' It was a cash offer, no potential hiccups of bank financing or appraisal; it waived all contingencies- no home inspection, no radon inspection, no termite inspection; it offered an aggressive closing date of 21 days to sign on July 17th- our last day at VT, with a seller's agreement attached to allow us to continue living at the house through July 31st at no cost.
Our Virginia Home, a first in ownership |
Even in snow covered winter- LOVE! |
It was clear. My prayer was answered beyond measure in a way that I didn't even know was possible. As I've thought about other times in my life where I have felt this kind of blessing, I reflect on my 'perfect man' list that I drafted at age 18. Jonathan Manz does not align with this list on every single point, but I am humbled by God's provision to give more than I could even dream in what I considered 'ideal.' (humorous example: it turns out not having a husband who loves black licorice as I do is quite alright- in its place are qualities like cooking breakfast for me nearly every morning of the week!) God is so good to show faithfulness in provisions, better than what my human lens can muster. And so as we pack up our first home in Virginia and feel all the emotions of transition and change, I am reminded to find rest in this provision and faith in a God will continue to provide for our family.
